I AGREE ON THAT! DEB, SO HAPPY TO HEAR YOU ARE COMPETING! I was hoping to see you later this season, but you may be done after this one! :respect:

[MoMo88]

I can't wait to see Britt. I was so sorry to hear that she had to drop out last year. She is so beautiful, yet so muscular! It was her pics that inspired me to go into bodybuilding for the first time. I think Lisa Boushard will also do well. Will be certainly routing for those two. Not sure who else is competing?

[LIFTstudios]

Monique Minton in Bikini. :2cents:

[4evrstroud]

Shoot it's a tough call these days, but I will contest to Monique doing well too!

There is a lot of potential "behind" some of the ladies who have won in NPC bikini competitions leading up to this one. If shows are won from behind, who is your pick for winning in bikini the remainder of the year?:awesome:

Pictured above:
-Keva Matovina, Bikini A-Class Winner Southern States
-Monique Minton Overall NPC USA Expo
-Jaime Baird, Bikini E-Class Winner Jr Nationals
-Jessica Lawrence Overall Eastern Seaboard
-Shay Monroe, Bikini D-Class Winner Jr Nationals

I'm a huge fan of Britt Miller too but Chris Sabo is also competing in the light-heavies. She won the class at the USA last year but lost the overall to Isabelle. She was on Muscle Girls Radio last week and she says she is on track to be in her best ever shape. As far as I know, Britt and Chris have never competed against each other before, so that is going to be an interesting comparison...

In the heavyweights I hear Holly Geersen is bringing it...

I don't expect to see Britt on stage.

Christine Sabo at the 2008 IFBB North American.............

[JLB001]

I wanna say Patricia Houston will be there as well. Not too sure though.

That is a tough call they all have great butts! Trust me I have seen them up close and in person:)

[roxierain]

should be a great show!

[scottnva]

should be a great show!

hey roxie how about yourself are you competing?

[DC2008]

Susan Salazar Class B, Ms. California 2009!

[Musclepapa John]

:waving: I've only seen the Texas and Florida girls up close and in person,..."butt" that about covers it, lol. I can't speak for having seen all those that will be appearing on stage in Vegas. However, my fairly well educated guess is that Jaime Baird will be vying for the top spot. She was excused from the overall at Jr USAs due to over work and lack of sleep that kept her from her peak and Jr. Nationals was somewhat understandable considering she was up against the lovely and talented Gaspari Nutrition Fame Pro Marzia Prince. If she brings it like she typically has from coast to coast thus far this year I think she stands a better likelihood than most of the field of beauties.

[DC2008]

Wendy Fortino - class A - figure

Hi Danielle! It's Farinaz
I like your avatar!:)
You are looking great girl!

[rach.]

Susan Salazar Class B, Ms. California 2009!

x2 her whole physique is amazing!!! Good luck to her!

[LIFTstudios]

Three more to watch next week...

Kristal Marshall - Second at the Arnold Bikini

Amanda Latona - recently won her class in California Bikini - top five at Flex bikini model search

Andrea Taylor - runner up of FLEX bikini model search and won the short class at the Orange County Muscle Classic

Those who doubted bikini won't after next week or if they do should have their head examined. LOL!

[FemFlex]

In the heavyweights I hear Holly Geersen is bringing it...

Ugh. Epic fail.

No more 'bringing it' as a standalone line please. And you're a writer, for Christ's sake!

















:p

[ISABELLE TURELL]

LOL @ Tre

Of course I know Chris Sabo is going to be in the best shape of her life at this show. She looked amazing last year. She is indeed one of the favorites.

I will say that I saw Kira Newman this past weekend showing off her skin in a very nice exotic dress. I will say that I was very impressed with her thickness as she has put on some size. Now she is going up as a LHW this yr and its going to be a tight class. We may even see Kris Murrell compete in the heavies again.

I really would like to see Star Baylock compete. Some are sayign we may see Angie Salvango comepte and she has won the class a few years in a row.
The show is going to rock

[oklahomeskillet]

Karen Choat is out...underwent emergency surgery this past week. She'll probably be out the rest of the year, but we'll keep y'all posted.

[Siouxcountry]

Sad to read. What happen to Karen? Is she recovering well?

Few can ever match Sabo in the conditioning department. I love that grainy look she gets.

Kira's got that smile and she has cartoon-like proportions with the wide upper body, the small waist, and the big ol' quads. She's certainly one of my favorites.

I'm not sure what's going on with Star, but would love to see her compete again, too.

Salvagno is ready. I checked her out on webcam a few days ago and she's shredded.

I never know what Britt is doing, but I do know that she'll look amazing if she steps onto the stage. She wouldn't have it any other way...and neither would I. :D

Why is it that we always know whatever fit-figs are competing in a given show, but finding out what FBBs are competing is like pulling teeth?

Thanks Isabelle! I appreciate the support and compliments! And I am ready to wear that dress again in Vegas!!

[Greg B.]

Nice to hear that Angela Salvagno and Star Blaylock could be back to competition fingers crossed !
I am a big fan of Christine Sabo that would really be deserved for her to get a pro card.
Totally agree concerning Kira's smile just irresistible ;)

[D. Lavette]

I have to add another name to the mix... LaVonda Ezell (A class).
She won her class at Masters. When I tell you A class is going to be stacked... it is going to be STACKED!!!

I wish all of my fellow shorties good luck :awesome:

[Veeramirez]

To Allyssa Stroud,
I really felt you were top 3 at least in your last show.Those judges missed you. I would have placed you at or near the top if you were going to Vegas. So why did you decide to skip when you were so close?

Hey Veronica... Jr Nat was very disheartening.... but I'm all positive thoughts now... I was going to attempt Vegas, but my expenses are very limited right now... I am still shooting for figure at TEAM u, but I will have about 4 more weeks to decide if I can afford that....

All in all my physique has potential for so much more, and I feel that pursuing that would make me happier since I would be able to embrace more of the muscularity that I have...
I appreciate your sweet words, it means alot to me that there have been so many people pulling for me.... Truly touches my heart!

[LIFTstudios]

We only know a few but I agree. It would be nice to give the competitors some pub who aren't as active online but have kick ass physiques. I'm not clear on why competitors lists are provided at least the week before the contest as it would only help interest in the event for the promoter as well as the competitors.
